The latest British ISP to announce compliance with a court-ordered block of The Pirate Bay is O2, along with their subsidiary Be Broadband.

More European ISPs are blocking access to The Pirate Bay, with British ISP O2 preparing to block its customers from the popular file-sharing site at 0001 GMT on June 8th. This also means that customers of Be Broadband, a subsidiary company of O2, will also lose access to the site.

O2 is the latest ISP to acquiesce to an order by the High Court in April; a judge ruled that The Pirate Bay was in fact facilitating copyright infringement by providing links from which pirated content could be downloaded. In a statement, O2 said that “[t]he main UK internet providers were ordered by the high court to block access to specific IP addresses and URLs used by The Pirate Bay website. We have no option but to comply with this order and will be doing so overnight.” Be Broadband also posted a message about the measures, in this case on their company blog, stating that “[o]ur parent company was one of the named ISPs so we are obliged to comply. We wouldn’t choose to do this voluntarily but we need to comply with UK laws just like any UK business. We’re aware of the concerns voiced by members about the broader issue.”

Of the ISPs featured in the court order, only TalkTalk has yet to comply with a block of the Swedish-based file sharing site. BT also has yet to block access to the site, but they were granted extra time to make the necessary arrangements; a spokesman for the ISP said that they would be making an announcement “in due course.”
